Its written well, but full of Jewish tricks. Beware of the author dismissing scientific theories entirely because it conflicts with his world view.

[Anonymous No.10592799]

I loved it and recommend it. The only Jewish trick is a small portion where he states race and IQ aren't interconnected.

Most the book talks about pre writing human history and that's always been an interest for me.

Except for the fact that a bunch of evidence suggests they are (like the resilience through time and policy efforts of the black-white IQ gap, said gap being stronger in more g-loaded test, not being able to explain the gap by accounting for SES differences) and basically no evidence is in support of totally environmental explanations of racial iq differences.

Sheesh just replace “race” with “populations”. There now you don’t have to argue about pointless tangents. “Populations”, from families to tribes, have differing characteristics, eg. Tibetans can handle high altitude better than you, and this process doesn’t suddenly stop at the blood brain barrier.

Who are the smartest large populations? Ashkenazi jews 115 IQ, Igbo Nigerians 110 (note, those are ‘black’ people), East Asians 105, non-Balkans Europeans 100, and so forth.

This books is lowkey redpilled
One of the passages early in the book state that the theory of homo sapiens genociding tf up all other hominids is false and that different homos evolved in to the races we see today is dismissed simply because that would open a huge ass race biology can of worms
Basically, it might be true, but we dismiss it because it's uncomfortable

IQ is an arbitrary measure cooked up to quantify a multifactorial attribute of human reasoning commonly known as "Intelligence" on the exact definition of wich nobody can fucking agree.
Despite this It's pretty indicative of success and reasoning capability as long as you remain inside one or two standard deviations. Very High and very low IQs mean jack shit beyond the fact that You're a master test-taker or completely unable to take this kind of test.
Everyone and his mom today agrees that It's multifactorial and that genetics play a role. The amount of data on this is comically huge.
Only brainlets that have fun dividing people in arbitrary categories (identity politics either for blacks and whites) see this as in any way problematic.

So the best example of different homo evolving to the different races is that the some sapiens was able to mate with their closet genetic cousin?

Did no such thing. We were talking by the same definition of reproduction since the start else the conversation wouldn't have made any sense. If anything YOU are trying to change the definition you were speaking from post facto, hence why two posts in rapid succession.

The heritability is approximately 80%.

[Anonymous No.10601441]

>>10601309
Well 70-80% is the most likely. The data is still missing a little bit so anywhere from 50-80% is possible. We should probably have the full answer by 2025 though.

I’m very curious what will happen to the liberal position if it becomes undeniable (to science) some populations really do average two standard deviations less intelligent.

And for the most part they still don’t. Even when they do they mostly go form mixed communities separate from the parent groups. In any case the won’t be all mixed by 2030.
My hope is next-gen crispr/ca9 is ready by then and everyone can admit that ‘yes some populations are less intelligent, but we just tweak these genes and it’s all good.’
